Is it a new form of Polio? Sorry, I keep seeing documentaries about polio when I turn on my TV. I didn't quite understand the speed at which polio incapacitates a person. Truthfully, I didn't have much concept about the realities of polio. So, while my brain is assimilating and ruminating over the knowledge; it's easily brought to mind.
The Zhuang family's Third Young Master's illness was getting more and more serious. It was said that it is an old illness that could not be cured. Everyone in the aristocrat circle knew about it. They had already heard that someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos and was preparing to hostile takeover their company at a low price.

I am at least thankful that in this sentence she wasn't called "Eldest Maid." "Eldest girl," might not be the best translation connotation wise, but Daohua is only 9 years old. So, at least it makes sense. ~ Also, your comment's obvious emotions made me happy. 😀
Ping Tong promised with a smile, "Rest assured, Madam, I will take good care of the eldest girl."
General · Knocking Brush
New senior maid? Shouldn't Ping Tong be "sizing up this" New eldest daughter? I'm pretty sure our Female Lead didn't move into her father's house to become Cinderella.
Meanwhile, Ping Tong, who was leading the way, was also quietly sizing up this new senior maid.

Family members just keep showing up in this story. It's so exciting. At first I thought there was only 2 daughters. Then the third daughter shower up to make trouble. And now there is a brother hinted at. Is there a real brother or a hypothetical not yet born brother? I don't know but we'll find out sometime.
Liu Shi was shocked as she thought about this. This was the Eternal Peace Marquis's residence, which ultimately would be her son's possession. She couldn't let Eternal Peace Marquis's residence be ruined. As for Yun Qianyu, she would deal with her later.

If she had used her real name her husband probably would have found her by now. I'm sure he left orders to look for someone with her name. 🙄
At that moment, she felt extremely fortunate to have faked her name!

Spanish Flu in the 20th century. There is also the Swine flu and the avian flu. Those two had less global effects but had impacts in certain locations. Frankly a more virulent variant of tuberculosis is just as frightening to me as a flu pandemic. Tuberculosis was a huge problem in the 19th century. RSV; while not a global problem, is also not a fun virus. .. the feeling of drowning while coughing almost nonstop is not something I hope to repeat.
Li Ran remembered other historical cases of flu that had caused a pandemic.

Oh, the wound spilt open... color me surprised. Maybe, splitting wood with a chest wound is bad idea? It's just a small thought .
Doctor Chen soon regained his composure and focused on the wound on Erlang's chest, cutting away the blood-soaked bandage and frowning, "This wound has split open so much, how could you not take care of it?"

I feel silly responding to this, but "fishes" is appropriate in some dialects of English. Generally, "fish" is the plural form for a group of fish. But, in some English dialects "fishes" is used when talking about a group of many fish that consist of more than one type of fish. It's just a minor difference in vocabulary based on the usage one grew up with. Either way, using "fish" or "fishes" has little impact on one's understanding of what's going on.
She braised the fishes for a while before adding water to cover the fishes. Then, she added chili followed by seasonings like onions, ginger, garlic and pepper.

I think you missed my point. I used an example of her deciding to not interact with people; in other words "be a hermit," to show how overpowered her space is. The reason being her space and it's powers give her the option of never having to deal with people and their associated bias. Other people and how they perceive her have nothing to do with the fact that her space is dramatically overpowered. That is the long and short of it. I don't mind that it that over powered. I just wanted to make note that it is so.
Fifteen minutes later, with the ground littered with chestnuts, Xiao'er jumped down from the tree. Of course, she could only do these actions because she had eaten Ashoka fruit earlier - the body of the main OC past life wasn't physically up to the task. She quickly collected the chestnuts from the ground and those not yet burst open were hammered open. She gathered half a basket, putting half of it into the space for preservation, and if she were hungry, take it out to eat. Fortunately, putting and retrieving things from the space merely required mental control and did not require physical movement. Although it should be noted that it only applies to objects inside the cave. The cave is also an infinite space, it can contain countless objects without being crammed, it is a universal warehouse.

By "ordinary surgeon," she probably means a general surgeon as opposed to a specialized surgeon. "Ordinary" is a good word choice because it can mean "general," and also allude to the fact her father limited her ambition. An MD is differnt than a PHD. Usually, one would pursue one or the other. One might pursue them both; but, most often at different times and not in tandem.
Qin Xue had originally intended to study for a master's degree, but her father interfered so she could not. Later, she became an ordinary surgeon.

Her space is so overpowered. With just her space she could go off and live a happy life as a forest hermit and not deal with any drama she doesn't want to.

apologies for spelling Zixaun's name wrong.
"Alright, but don't go too far. Stay within my line of sight." Shen Zixuan, often venturing into the mountains, knew this area was safe, so he agreed but didn't dare let the children wander too far.

Shen Zuaxin is the guy that brought Xio'er's injured body back home after the cousin pushed her at the river and cracked her skull open. At this point in the story, Xio'er and her two brothers met with Zauxin before entering the woods to find fruit. He apparently got board studying and heard they wanted to go to the forest. So, he decided to accompany the siblings in looking for fruit. He is apparently rather knowledgeable of the forest. He is also an undisclosed number of years older than the siblings.

"... the man and the bird, ..." would perhaps read better as, "... the [human] and the bird, ..."
Tian Bai, ignoring the astonishment of the man and the bird, began to explain.

It makes plenty of sense; certainly more than the nicknames I give out. For example, among the nicknames have gifted my younger sister are Bacon-Bits, Smush-Face, Marshmallow, Lizard, and also, an ever changing string of random adjectives and nouns that only ends when -kinsis tacked on to end the nickname. That last nickname gets longer the more emotions I have about her at the time I am saying it. They are even sometimes happy emotions instead of frustration.
[TL Note: In China, any syllable of a person's name could be turned into their nickname.]

I'm feeling like this could be a case of the names being spelled differently in Chinese but once translated to English have the same spelling. Sort of like if you translatrd the names; Steven and Stephen, into Chinese characters; they would be translated as the same characters. Which now,, makes me wonder what name has the most spellings in English. It would thusly make for a frustrating read if multiple characters had the name. My first thought is Alan, Allan, and Allen. But, I'm sure there has to be another name. Although, a set.of triplets all named Alan would be confusing for all involved.
"His Highness is really good to Sister Fengyi, specially reminding her to visit the Empress. With this, she won't have to go to the Buddha Hall to recite scriptures," Fengyi said with a light laugh, holding Fengyi's arm.

okay, but she's still a twig. Thank you for checking my math.
She was 168 cm tall and weighed only 96 pounds. As she had been dancing since primary school, she looked particularly elegant.

Repetition adds emphasis when done sparingly. It can also show a sense of immaturity. Would you really read a story that chose to write in the most direct manner without ever using more words than necessary?
To say that he wasn't saddened would be a lie as well.

Cough cough, she guessed that guy must have been holding back for too long. His wife was right beside him, yet he couldn't do anything and also couldn't resort to Lady Five to take care of his needs, leading to a mind full of unhealthy thoughts.
